TATCHA VIOLET-C BRIGHTENING SERUM

The Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum is a powerful yet gentle serum designed to target dullness, dark spots, and signs of aging.¹ It is a key product in the brand's collection, formulated with a unique blend of ingredients that provide potent brightening and anti-aging benefits without causing irritation.

Key Features and Ingredients

The serum's effectiveness comes from its combination of Vitamin C and other skin-loving botanicals:

• 20% Vitamin C + 10% AHA Complex: This is the core of the serum's brightening power.²

   

  • Vitamin C: The formula contains two types of Vitamin C: a stable form of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate and Bis-glyceryl Ascorbate.³ This dual-action approach ensures a more stable and effective delivery of Vitamin C to help brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and protect against free radical damage.

     

  • AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): The serum also includes a blend of gentle fruit-derived AHAs, such as lactic and malic acid.⁴ These acids work to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, helping to dissolve the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together, which in turn improves the absorption of the Vitamin C and enhances the skin's overall radiance.

     

• Japanese Beautyberry: A superfood that is rich in antioxidants.⁵ This extract helps to stabilize Vitamin C, boosting its effectiveness and ensuring it stays potent on the skin. It also adds a beautiful, subtle purple tint to the serum.

   

• Japanese Angelica Root: This botanical extract is known for its ability to help fade the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, contributing to a more even skin tone.⁶

   

• Hadasei-3™ Complex: As with many Tatcha products, this serum contains the brand's proprietary blend of fermented superfoods (rice, green tea, and algae) to provide deep hydration and nourishment.⁷

   

Texture and Feel

The serum has a milky, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and feels comfortable on the skin.⁸ It is not sticky and does not have the "pilling" effect of some other serums.

Who It's For

The Violet-C Brightening Serum is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin who may find other Vitamin C serums irritating.⁹ It is particularly beneficial for anyone concerned with:

• Dullness

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

• Fine lines and wrinkles

The serum is free of parabens, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances, and other harmful ingredients, in line with Tatcha's "clean" beauty philosophy.¹⁰
